• We think of color as a thing that we’re receiving. And if you go into one of the Skyspaces, you can see that it’s possible to change the color of the sky. Now, I obviously don’t change the color of the sky, but I changed the context of vision.

• Of one thing I am sure. Complaining is self-perpetuating and counterproductive. Whenever I express my complaints in the hope of evoking pity and receiving the satisfaction I so much desire, the result is always the opposite of what I tried to get. A complainer is hard to live with, and very few people know how to respond to the complaints made by a self-rejecting person. The tragedy is that, often, the complaint, once expressed, leads to that which is most feared: further rejection.

• Todo vuelve a la tierra, y por eso no deseo el orgullo del exceso o del poder, sino los contentamientos que hacen los hombres que han tenido poco: el silencio del pescador recibiendo la gracia del río, las cavilaciones del jardinero sobre las hileras.

• So vast a sum, receiving all the protection and benefits of the government, without bearing its proportion of the burdens and expenses of the same, will not be looked upon acquiescently by those who have to pay the taxes. . . . I would suggest the taxation of all property equally.

• The child is thinking and receiving vibrational thought from you on the day that he enters your environment. That is the reason that beliefs are transmitted so easily from parent to child.

• Tape with LTFS has several advantages over the other external storage devices it would typically be compared to. First, tape has been designed from Day 1 to be an offline device and to sit on a shelf. An LTFS-formatted LTO-6 tape can store 2.5 TB of uncompressed data and almost 6 TB with compression. That means many data centers could fit their entire data set into a small FedEx box. With LTFS the sending and receiving data centers no longer need to be running the same application to access the data on the tape.

• Mis oraciones parecen ser más una actitud que otra cosa. Me permito muy poca palabrería, pero pido al Gran Creador en silencio, diariamente, y a menudo muchas veces al día, que me permita hablarle a través de los tres grandes Reinos del mundo que Él ha creado -el reino animal, el mineral y el vegetal- para comprender sus relaciones entre sí, y nuestras relaciones con ellos y con el Gran Dios que nos hizo a todos. Le pido diariamente y a menudo a cada momento que me dé sabiduría, entendimiento y fuerza corporal para hacer Su voluntad; por eso estoy pidiendo y recibiendo todo el tiempo.

  George Washington Carver

• Dentro de ti vive un ser sabio. Es tu yo intuitivo. Focaliza tu conciencia en un lugar profundo de tu cuerpo, un lugar donde residan tus "sentimientos viscerales". Puedes comunicarte con él hablándole en silencio, haciéndole peticiones o preguntas. A continuación, relájate, no pienses demasiado con la mente y estate abierto a recibir respuestas. Suelen ser muy sencillas y estar relacionadas con el momento presente, no con el pasado ni el futuro, y te hacen sentir bien.

• When you start thinking about taking pictures, sending an e-mail, receiving an e-mail, speaking into your phone and have it transcript voice into text and then sent as an e-mail, it's mind-boggling.

• When you overpay small people you frighten them. They know that their merits or activities entitle them to no such sums as they are receiving. As a result their boss soars out of economic into magic significance.

• Eating in a hurried or unconscious way, as so many of us have learned to do, is like receiving a love letter from the earth, but never taking the time to carefully read it.

• Perhaps there is no such thing as unilateral power. After all, the man in power depends on receiving information all the time from outside. He responds to that information just as much as he causes things to happen... it is an interaction, and not a lineal situation.

• Tengo más miedo de merecer críticas que de recibirlas. Tengo miedo de mi propia opinión. Los deméritos secretos de los que, tal vez, sólo nosotros somos conscientes, son a menudo más difíciles de soportar que aquellos que han sido públicamente censurados en nosotros, y por lo tanto en cierto grado expiados.

• Again, in our enterprises we present the singular spectacle of daring and deliberation, each carried to its highest point, and both united in the same persons; although usually decision is the fruit of ignorance, hesitation of reflection. But the palm of courage will surely be adjudged most justly to those, who best know the difference between hardship and pleasure and yet are never tempted to shrink from danger. In generosity we are equally singular, acquiring our friends by conferring, not by receiving, favours.

• Although I am still in favour of a National Government in these difficult times, and shall probably be found in the great majority of cases in the Government Lobby, there are some issues that have arisen, or are likely to arise, upon which I am unable to give the Government the support which it has, perhaps, the right to expect from those receiving the Government Whip. It occurs to me, therefore, that it would perhaps be more satisfactory if I was no longer regarded as being among the supporters of the present Administration.

• I am receiving what I suppose to be the usual number of threatening letters on the subject. Assassination can be no more guarded against than death by lightning; it is best not to worry about either.

• Cuanto más hayas amado y te hayas permitido sufrir a causa de tu amor, más podrás dejar que tu corazón se ensanche y se profundice. Cuando tu amor es verdaderamente dar y recibir, aquellos a quienes amas no abandonarán tu corazón aunque se alejen de ti. El dolor del rechazo, la ausencia y la muerte pueden volverse fructíferos. Sí, a medida que ames profundamente el suelo de tu corazón se romperá más y más, pero te regocijarás en la abundancia del fruto que dará.

• Existe el juicio justo, pero parece que últimamente la palabra "juicio" se ha convertido en una palabra maldita, y punto. La cuestión no es si somos o no lo suficientemente perspicaces para evitar ser juzgados, sino si somos o no lo suficientemente seguros para aceptar ser juzgados. Es inevitable que todo ser humano consciente juzgue. Puede surgir de la perspicacia, la experiencia y la sinceridad, y en esos casos es muy beneficioso para quien lo recibe.

• Nuestros medios de recibir impresiones son absurdamente escasos, y nuestras nociones de los objetos circundantes infinitamente estrechas. Sólo vemos las cosas tal como estamos hechos para verlas, y no podemos hacernos una idea de su naturaleza absoluta. Con cinco sentidos débiles pretendemos comprender el cosmos ilimitadamente complejo.
